Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!

would you like anything else with that?

Yes, a loaf of bread and some friends.

[–] EPBJ@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It’s like a cow with a cracker on either side.

I don't understand American sandwiches, why even bother with the bread?

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is like a $30 sandwich from one of the most famous delis in the country. I would not describe this as a typical American sandwich.

[–] FreeLikeGNU@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You could easily split a single one of these sandwiches four ways and share some of their delicious side orders as well.

The bread isn't a mere mechanical contrivance to keep your hands clean. The bread is chosen to pair with the pastrami.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You have a point but dude throwing everything in the fridge between two thinly sliced pieces of bread is amazingly delicious

At this point why even bother with the bread?

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

the bread really ties the sandwich together.

That's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

For anyone not familiar- Katz Deli is a somewhat famous sandwich place in NYC. Their primary menu item is the pastrami on rye sandwich, and it's like $20-$30. They slice the pastrami right in front of you, still warm.

I've only had it once but it was worth it.

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

30 dollars for a sandwich??? you could get a whole cow for that much here

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

It was worth it... Best pastrami I've ever had

If you're the type of person to give their cat a $30 sandwich, I'm afraid there's a place in line reserved for you at the guillotine.

[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago

If they don't have normal cat food, they shall just give the cat 30€ cat food instead!

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Try some of their sour pickles while there too.

[–] Ohi@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I'm going to NY next week and really appreciate the reminder to go eat at Katz again. 🤤

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It's great if you don't mind paying $25 for a sandwich

[–] alarratt@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

God tier Who cares what the "Best" is? Go try them all

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Had something like that in São Paulo, actually left me full.
